Is human hemoglobin different from a mouse hemoglobin?

practically no difference. In both the hemoglobin has the same job, bonding with oxygen.


Do CO2 bind to hemoglobin in the same binding site as O2?

No, carbon dioxide (CO2) binds to a different site on hemoglobin than oxygen (O2). CO2 primarily binds to the amino groups of the protein portion of hemoglobin, forming carbaminohemoglobin. This is an important way that CO2 is transported in the blood.


How many CO2 is found in hemoglobin?

At the end of each protein chain in a hemoglobin (4) there is a amine group for the CO2 to bind to...therefore it can hold 4.


Is CO2 a ionic bond?

No it is covalent bonding

What environmental conditions induce hemoglobin to bind to carbon dioxide?

Hemoglobin binds to carbon dioxide (CO2) more readily under conditions of high CO2 concentration, low pH (acidosis), and elevated temperature, which are often associated with active tissues. These conditions promote the formation of carbamino compounds, where CO2 binds to the amino groups of hemoglobin. Additionally, the Bohr effect explains how increased CO2 and hydrogen ion concentration reduce hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen, facilitating oxygen release and enhancing CO2 uptake.


The phenomenon involving the greater combination of CO2 with hemoglobin at a lower Po2 and at a lower degree of hemoglobin saturation with O2 is called the?

Determine the number of bonding electrons and the number of nonbonding electrons in the structure of CO2?

In the structure of CO2, there are 2 bonding electrons between each carbon and oxygen atoms, connecting them. There are no nonbonding electrons in the CO2 molecule because all the valence electrons are involved in bonding either between carbon and oxygen or within the oxygen atoms themselves.
